When facing any kind of big surgery, confidence in your doctor is essential. You now have a doc you can be confident in and people here who have been through where you are about to go. Not to mention all of us others who will keep you in our thoughts as you go through it. Short of not having to have the surgery at all, you're in a great position going into it.
